What is Decongestant Syrup?
Active Ingredients: Guaifenesin, Pseudoephedrine HCL; Phenylephrine HCL, Diphenhydramine HCL, Chlorpheniramine Maleate
Decongestant Syrup (Guaifenesin, Pseudoephedrine HCL; Phenylephrine HCL, Diphenhydramine HCL, Chlorpheniramine Maleate) is a fixed-dose combination drug used to temporarily relieve cough, chest congestion, sneezing, sore throat, stuffy nose, and other similar symptoms. It is typically used in the treatment of the common cold, flu, allergies, hay fever, or other illnesses connected with breathing.
This Decongestant Syrup is available in two formulations: one for adults and one for children.
Decongestant (Anti-Cough)™ contains two active ingredients: Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine HCL. Guaifenesin belongs to the family of medicines called expectorants. It works to thin the mucus or phlegm in the lungs. Pseudoephedrine HCL is a nasal decongestant. This ingredient works by drying out the nasal passages.
Decongestant (Anti-Cough)™ KIDS contains 3 active ingredients: Phenylephrine HCL, Diphenhydramine HCL, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Phenylephrine HCL is a decongestant. It is classified as a sympathomimetic amine that works as a vasoconstrictor. Diphenhydramine HCL and Chlorpheniramine Maleate are both antihistamines. These ingredients block the activity of acetylcholine, which relieves symptoms such as a runny nose and watery eyes.
